JACOB JOHNSON AND HIS DESCENDANTS 



PREFACE. 



The definite work of making this book was begun nearly nine 
years ago. It was at the earnest request of some of the old-r 
members of the Johnson family. I was then visiting at Bailey's 
Island, Me. I at once placed before these relatives the fragments 
of our Johnson history which I had collected when a lad of my 
grandfather, Capt. James Sinnett, who had marri(Hl Mary John- 
son, granddaughter of our ancestor, Jacob Johnson. He was a 
man of wonderful memory in regard to past events in Harpswell 
Me. His wife and her relatives had been a joy and strength to 
him in all the changing scenes of life, until he came to speak of 
their records as if they were his own. To my grandfather's 
home, more than to all others, had come on visits the widely 
scattered members of the Johnson family. They continued to 
make these pilgrimages long after the wife, familiarly known as 
"Aunt Polly," had passed away. He and his widowed daughter, 
Hannah, made these visits such pleasant seasons that the de- 
scendants of those who came to Bailey's Island still speak and 
write of them. 

My grandfather said tg me one evening, as if the woman whom 
he, and all who knew her, loved so much, were with us still, 
"Your grandmother is so glad to think you are writing down what 
I tell you about the Johnsons. I have no doubt you will make a 
book out of it some day." And well did I remember the quiet, 
loving ways of this woman, who made every one of her grand- 
children feel that she had a special love for them, and that her 
prayers were speeding away itefore them to give light on all the 
pathways they might follow in the coming years. And I thought, 
"The book should be made for her sake, even if she had been the 
only Johnson the world had known." She was a strong type 
of our Johnson line through its many generations; loving, warm- 
hearted and making her home one of true hospitality for each one 
who came thither. And in the quiet hours she could tell us the 
legends of the early days with that rare skill and chai-m which 
has characterized our Johnsons, liowev<>r far they have gone from 
our home town by the sea. Hundreds who read these words of 



4 JOHNSON GENEALOGY. 

reminiscence will see before them the shining faces, will feel the 
honest hand clasps and hear the tales of former years ringing in 
their hearts as no other stories have ever done. 

All my collections of records of our earlier Johnsons I at once 
spread before those who asked mo to make this Johnson book, 
and calls were often made on the older members of the family in 
Harpswell, Portland, and many islands of Casco Bay. These pa- 
pers were carefully corrected, with guidance such as this, and 
much constantly added to them. Then also began a correspond- 
ence with people of our race in every town where even a rumor 
of one could be heard. This quest has been kept up through the 
years. It was no light task to carry on such a work when I had 
charge of two parishes among the New Hampshire hills, and was 
writing much for papers and magazines. Then came many cares 
and a removal to a hustling town in the West. But in all the hard 
and weary places I have never ceased to see the shining face of 
my grandmother, or to hear the words of her husband. Memo- 
ries of other friends have cheered. And the finding of far re- 
moved members of our Johnson line has given still more inspira- 
tion. So, on land and sea, in clearest mountain sunshine, and in 
the swirl of the darkest prairie storms, the work has gone on, 
and its results are given to you with grateful thanks to the host 
of friends who have aided in every way they could to make this 
volume complete. 

Emphasis has already been laid on some of the strongest John- 
son characteristics. Wherever any representative of this line 
has made a home it has been one of truest hospitality. Many a 
child in such homes has been taught, "Honor thy father and thy 
mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord 
thy God giveth thee." And then a voice has added solemnly and 
tenderly, "Ay, and do not forget thy neighbor nor the stranger 
within thy gate." These golden rules have been handed down 
from generation to generation in word and example. And their 
glory and rewards are clearly seen if you mark to what a great 
age so many of our Johnsons have attained and are still attain- 
ing. 

The story-telling gifts of our people have been indicated. Old 
and young have felt the power of this inheritance. Some of the 
legends and witty sayings of our ancestors have been published 
in the writings of others, and have found wide praise. 

The power to hold fast to any chosen work of life, and out of 
this make a grand success, in spite of the thorny hindrances, is 
also a marked trait of our Johnsons. Study well the varied oc- 
cupations, by land and sea, of the people of whom this book tells, 



JOHNSON GENEALOGY. 

und you will be asionished to soe what they have achieved along 
hundreds of lines of duty and helpfulness. In the few cases of 
failure in the bearing out of this strong rule I have found the 
reason, not in any thinning of the .lohuson blood, l)ut in the per- 
sistent influence of some unwise teacher, or the lower ideals of 
some other family which has been allied with ours. 

I have" set in the front of this book the picture of the woman 
who is the oldest living of our line. I have done this with the 
same clear purpose with which I have spoken ot my grandmother 
and other women whose lives make glowing pages of history. It 
is that each reader may carefully note how much of the family 
sturdiness and love of truth has been transmitted through the 
female lines of the faniily. You will notice that all of the five 
daughters of our Ancestor Jacob Johnson married and moved into 
towns quite far inland from their native Harpswell. Some of 
their sons and daughters were widely scattered across this con- 
tinent. But through all the long ranks of descendants the family 
characteristics are clearly seen — truly a royal heritage. 

The addresses of most of the living descendants of our Johnson 
ancestor are given, that the widely-separated kindred may try 
and keep up the old custom of visits where it is possible, and of 
correspondence which shall bring us all into the close fellowship 
which should l)e felt. Let each branch of the family keep its 
record with care, that they may be added to this book from time 
to time. 

Edmore, N. D., Good Friday, March 29, 1907. 



OUR JOHNSON ANCESTOR. 

All accounts examined agree in the statement that our Ances- 
tor Jacob Johnson was born in England, and came to America 
when he was a young man. The date of his birth was about 1715. 
He and his wife, and other relatives, are buried in the cemetery 
at Bailey's Island, Harpswell, Me. His gravestone clearly states 
that he died in Cumberland, Me., October 15, 1803, aged 88 years. 
In another account the date of his death is given as June 29, 
1802, but the inscription on the gravestone is no doubt correct. 

Many legends concerning Ancestor Jacob Johnson have come 
down to us, and it may be well to consider these. One writer 
states, "The first American Johnson of our line was Sir James 
Johnson, who is supposed to have been the son of an English 
lord." A part of this statement is no doubt derived from the fact 
that at Plymouth, Mass., was, at an early date, a Sir Isaac John- 
son. The legend has the germ of truth that there is no doubt 
our ancestor was of a fine old English family. 

Another writes: "Our Ancestor Jacob Johnson was English, 
and his real name was Hatheway. He took the Johnson name 
so as not to be discovered when he escaped from an English 
man-of-war." Some others give the original name as Hatheway. 
This seems to be partially accounted for by the following state- 
ment from the oldest family Bible preserved by the Johnson de- 
scendants: "Jonathan Hatheway Johnson was born in Sweden, 
and died of the plague, in Lrondon, England. He married Anna 
Frazier, the daughter of Jonathan Frazier of London, England." 
This Jonathan Hatheway Johnson would clearly appear to be the 
father of our Ancestor Jacob Johnson. He named his first son 
Jonathan, according to the custom in such old families, thus 
remembering his father — also his grandfather Frazier. It will 
be noticed how the names Frazier and Hatheway were preserved 
among the children of James Johnson, the son of Ancestor Jacob. 
Others state that the ancestor, Jacob, changed his name from 
Hatheway to Johnson because of a love affair. There seems to 
have been a rival lover, to whom Jacob surrendered all claims, 
leaving his native land and going to bis relatives in Virginia. 
Then, fearing some clue of his whereabouts might reach the home- 
land and shadow in some slight way the lives of his rival and 
wife, he changed his name and removed to the Maine coast, with 
the strict charge that no due to his dwelling place should be given 



JOHNSON GENEALOGY. / 

to English friends. Many sacrificos macU' by this sturdy Jacob 
incline one to cherish this story with cai'e. He certainly lived 
the purest and happiest kind of life with his noble wife, in a 
union which covered a space of uiore than fifty years. If one be- 
lieves in rewards for sacrifices in love affairs, such as is attrib- 
uted to Jacob Johnson, here is a glowing example in Abigail Bib- 
ber, whom he married at Harpswell, Me., December 17. 1752. She 
was one of the truest and bravest women the old town by the soa 
has ever known. Her gravestone on Bailey's Island, Me., states 
that she died April 20, 1813, aged 86 years, thus making her date 
of birth about 1727. She was the daughter of James Bibber, who 
was born on the Isle of Jersey, England, in 1706, and died in 
Harpswell, Me., 1773. He was the sturdy ancestor of the Bibbers 
of Maine. He married Abigail Drew of Dover, N. H., who died at 
Harpswell, Me., 1783, and who was the daughter of John Drew of 
a celebrated old New Hampshire family. Abigail Bibber was a 
very beautiful woman, dark haired, with bright eyes, red cheeks 
and a cheery smile for every hard place in life. Her witty words 
were famous throughout the neighborhood. Her courage never 
failed in those dark and troublous times in which her lot was cast. 
While living on Harpswell Neck, Me., on the spot on which the 
hotel called the Mau.sion House was afterwards built, she was 
often left alone when her husband and sons were away fishing 
or hunting. The Indians, who wei'e always prowling in the 
shaggy forests which then clothed Harpswell Neck, had long de- 
termined to destroy this home and take the life of the woman 
who had already defeated some of their plans for surprising and 
massacring the settlers on the Neck. To shut her bright eyes 
forever meant to these warriors that they could safely count on 
the scalps of her husband, children and others. One day Jacob 
Johnson and his sons went up Harpswell Bay to a tide mill to 
have some corn ground. "There is a fine breeze," said Jacob, "and 
by four o'clock we shall be home with our grist." He stooped 
down and kissed the ruddy cheeks of Abigail, who replied with a 
merry laugh and the whirr of her spinning wheel. The wheel 
whirred on until the sun set, though the wife knew that the bay 
lay white and still as if no breeze would ruffle it for many hours 
to come. Singing a cheery song she milked the cows and did all 
the household work, as if she had no thought of black-eyed sav- 
ages who watched beneath a great pine tree. But at an early 
hour after midnight, when the Indians crept to the home, and one 
had entered a low window of the log house, they heard the quick 
cry, "Ho! Jacob! Jonathan! all! fire your guns!" There was a 
murmur of hoarse voices, as if all the men of the household had 



8 JOHNSON GENEALOGY. 

returnetl in some mysterious way through the calm that lay on the 
bay. Then two sharp cries of the old flintlock gun followed. The 
shriek of the Indian at the window pierced the night. It was 
answered by a groan from the edge of the clearing. The rest of 
the Indians fled and the house of Jacob Johnson was never mo- 
lested again. "Ugh! we shall never get the sharp-eyed squaw," 
was the verdict heard by many an old tree on Harpswell Neck. 
In the gray dawn Jacob Johnson and his sons reached home. 
Tliey had heard the guns, and feared much harm for their home. 
"How was it, Nabby?" Jacob cried, as he saw his wife on the shore. 
"Oh, we caught the biggest bravef' laughed Abigail, "but he put 
his hand in the meal chest before I could aim at him. Maybe 
the porridge will not taste well to you." "Everything will taste 
sweet, since you are safe." And the Ivisses fell fast on the cheeks 
of the brave woman. 

The clearest account of our Johnson aijcestor was given me 
many years ago by my grandfather, Capt. James Sinnett, who 
was well versed in historical matters, and who married Mary 
Johnson, granddaughter of the ancestor: "The Johnson ancestor 
came from England to Virginia at an unknown date. He was 
connected with the Lee family, and probably located at James- 
town, or near there. The names of his brothers are not known 
with certainty. He is said to have been impressed on an English 
man-of-war, and so escaped to the Maine coast." 

With such a good history as our forefathers of the Johnson 
line have made, we are well content to trace the deeds which 
show a true worth, saying with one of a philosophic turn of 
mind, "Hatheways we may be — but the Johnson name is one that 
we love." The author of this, book likes that kind of philosophy, 
too, as a descendant of the line. But he will study the history 
well in the coming days, and all of the family shall share in his 
researches. ^ ' 

As has already bt^n mentioned. Ancestor Jacob Johnson lived 
on the lower pai-t of Harpswell Neck. His children were proba- 
bly born there. Some think that he lived on Hope Island, in 
Casco Bay for a time, but the evidence of this is not clear. His 
death in Cumberland, Me., as given on his gravestone, would ap- 
pear to have occurred while he was visiting some of his descend- 
ants at Great Chebeague, or some other point. His sons, Jona- 
than, David and James, all enlisted at Harpswell in the Revo- 
lutionary War. He was then living in Harpswell, and his sturdy 
spirit of patriotism was of great help in all town efforts for 
truth and liberty. This home would be near that of the Bibbers, 
the people of the wife to wliom he was so tenderly attached.

(2) Capt. James Sinnett stated that there was one more child in 
this family, but he did not remember the name. As no men- 
tion of this child was found in any town records, it probably 
died in infancy or youth. 



CHAPTER I. 

(2) Jonathan Johnson, b. Harpswdl, Me., Oct. 4, 1754; buried 
with his wives at Harpswell Centre, Me.; ni. (first). May 1, 
1776, Miriam Booker, b. Harpswell, Me., June 23, 1755; 'the 
daughter of Dea. James Bool^er and Mercy Young of York, Me.; 
granddaughter of John Booker and Hester Adams of York, Me.', 
John Booker being the American ancestor of this fme old fam- 
ily, coming from England in 1707 and settling ,<it York, Me.; 
m. (second), Sept. 3, 1809, Mrs. Mehetable Hersey' (called Hasey 
in the old records), the widow of William Hersey and daughter 
of Ephraim Allen and his wife, Abigail, of Harpswell, Me.; she 
was b. Harpswell, Me., Feb., 1765; d. Lisbon, Me., 1850. Jona- 
than Johnson spent most of bis married life on Bail(>y's Island, 
Me. He lived in a house which stood near the shore a little to 
the southwest of the home of his grandson, the late Capt. Elisha 
Johnson. He was a very energetic man and of the same sturdy 
qualities as the other children of Ancestor Jacob Johnson. He 
was a successful captain of fishing vessels and is said to have 
owned all the lower end of Bailey's Island, which was after- 
wards divided into the farms of his grandsons, Capts. Ephraim 
and Elisha Johnson. He was one of the most earnest patriots 
of his day. Long before the battle of Bunker Hill be urged his 
townspeople to do all in their power for the defence of their 
country. His quick, earnest method of speaking impressed 
deeply on many hearts the truth of his words. In April. 1775, 
when Captain Mowatt, who afterwards burned Falmouth, now 
Portland, Me., was at Falmouth Neck in the Cancean. protect- 
ing Capt. Thomas Coulson in the rigging of his mast ship, Jona- 
than said, "Destroy Mowatt's vessel and a great blow will be 
made for liberty." He at once joined the company of Col. 
Samuel Thompson of New Meadows (afterwards the famous 
brigadier-general) and the Caiiccau would have been speedily 
captured but for the plots of the Tories in the town. 

Mr. Nathan Goold of Portland, Me., in his excellent history 
of Brig.-Gen. Samuel Thompson, well says: "The history of 
Brunswick, Me., states that Thompson's men were mostly young 
adventurers who afterwards enlisted under Capt. James Curtis. 
But the men who captured the Margaretta at Machias, Me., a 
short time after this, were just such men, and their descendants 
take great pride in their ancestry. The company of Colonel 
Thompson arrived home on Sunday. On Monday, the 15th of 
May, the enlistment of the company of Capt. James Curti.s 
began. On that day Jonathan Johnson and his brother James 
gladly enlisted in the first company of Harpswell, Me., men. 
Doctor Wheeler, in his history of Brunswick, etc., calls bis name 
John Johnson, but the name is clearly .Jonathan in the old 
records. This company contained three Johnson brothers, as 
David Johnson enlisted July 17, 1775. The time of enlistment 
is given as three months,. l)ut in reality it continued until late 
in October, 1775." 



l-I JOHNSON GENEALOGY. 

Of this fompauy Nathan GooUl says: "Capt. James Curtis 
with his men, arrived at Cambridge, Mass., July 30th, and on 
Aug. 8th was ordered to Deer Isle, Me., which then had a pop- 
ulation of about three hundred souls. They were ordered to 
take six whale boats, three barrels of powder, one thousand 
pounds weight of ball, five hundred flints and two hundred 
iiushels of Indian corn or flour. They were given forty shillings 
advance pay and the town where they might be stationed was 
to furnish the provisions, for which they were to receive six 
shillings per week per man. Their duties were to prevent the 
British from plundering tlie inhabitants of their cattle, sheep, 
Wood, etc. The soldiers of this company receipted for their 
advance pay at Cambridge, Mass., Aug. 9, 1775, and so their 
names have been preserved." This list of fifty-seven soldiers 
shows the wide influence for liberty of Jonathan Johnson and 
his brothers. The first lieuten:int of the company was Mark 
Rogers of Harpswell, Me.; Jacob Curtis of that town was ser- 
geant and twenty-four other men were from that home town 
of the Johnsons. 

The duty to which General Washington assigned these sturdy 
patriots shows the confidence which he placed in them, for that 
part of the Maine coast to which they went was not only in 
danger from British cruisers, but had many Tories of the most 
desperate character. His faith in the brave deeds which they 
would accomplish in a short time was well founded. 

Mr. Nathan Goold continues: "This company of Capt. James 
Curtis served until the latter part of Oct., 1775, the Capt. 
being credited with five months and five days service. The 
men did not stop here in their patriotism, but again entered the 
army, and many of them had long and honorable service, while 
some gave all that men can give, their lives, for the cause, and 
their names are among tlie honored dead of the republic." 

The children of Jonathan Johnson were all of his first mar- 
riage with Miriam Booker.

d. April 15, 1854 (June 20, 1840, says another record). He

cessful fisherman and a man of very energetic character. He 
owned the schooners Pilgrim and Traveller, of twenty tims. 
These were "pinque-storned" vessels. He bought at Glouces- 
ter, Mass., the Henri/, square-sterned. He had built at 
Gloucester, Mass., the Armorial, named for his second wife, 
a schooner of forty tons. His son, Jonathan Johnson, made 
several trips in her to the Bay of Fundy. 

David Johnson was captain of a large company of soldiers 
in Harpswell in the War of 1812; dates of service, June 20-25 
and September 19-21, 1814. The tine training which he jiave 
this company has always been spoken of in the town, and in 
the historical records. En.slish warships, which had been a 
terror to that part of the Maine coast, were kept at bay; one 
boat load which attempted to land on Bailey's Island and 
secure sheep and provisions being quickly driven to their 
ship. The names of tlie over sixty men in this company was 
secured from the treasury department at Washinsiton, D. C, 
and shows that it was made up of the members of the stur- 
diest families in Harpswell. Me., Peleg Curtis being lieuten- 
ant; David Curtis, ensign. This company is said to have Ix'cn 
primarily organized for the protection of Bath, Me., and a 
full list' of the soldiers is herewith given, as showinir the 
true patriotism of Harpswell, Me., and the fine leadership of 
Capt David Johnson, whose old sword has long been pre- 
served in the home of Capt. Elisha Johnson at Bailey's Is- 
land, Me. The farm of Capt. David Johnson was divided be- 
tween his sons, Capt. Ephraiui and Capt. Elisha John.^on.

IX .\lK\IOHY OK AIM- AI-.MIKA .lOllNSD.V. 

The fir.st spring llowers were blooming on our isijind. 

The grass was growing on the warm hillside; 
All nature spoke of life and resurrection 

WTien this dear mother died. 

The noisy winds had all been hushed to silence. 

And hardly murmured then the rising tide; 
All nature spoke of peace the Savior promised 

When this dear mother died. 

The busy hands and tongues of men were silent, 

The sounds of toil did everywhere subside; 
All nature spoke of rest, eternal resting. 

When this dear mother died. 

Darkness had settled o'er our little island. 

And scarce a light was anywhere descried; 
But all the stars told of a h(>avenly i)rightness 

When this dear mother died. 

And three white stars shone out almost together 

That placid evening, moving side by side. 
And made us think of the three angel children 

Watching while their mother died. 

The arms of Christ did long ago enfold them. 

And He whose love doth evermore abide 
Kept the living children near where they might comfort 

Their mother as she died. 

Oh. husband, bowed beneath your sorrow. 

Oh, children though your tears you may not hide, 

Think of these signs of precious, holy helping 
The night that mother died. 

Of life, peace, rest, and brightness never clouded, 

All nature spoke, and then you had beside 
God's Holy Word with promises so many 

When your dear mother died. 

Pain had been hers, but never had she murnnired; 

In suffering she had not moaned or sighed; 
That strength sublime comes only by God's helping. 

And peacefully she died. 

Oh. may the Savior's love and blessed presence 

Go with you all, and e'er with you abide; 
Pray to Him, trust Him, strive to meet the mother 

Who loved you always — loved you when she died.

CHAPTER II. 

(2) David Johnson, b. Ilariiswell, Me.. Nov. 28. 1755; d. I'.aile.v's 
Island, Me., July 18, 1839 (72.v.). Buried with his wife and 
others of the family on Bailey's Island. Me.; ni.. Oct. 25. 1781. 
Jane Koduclv. b. Ilarpsewll Xerk. .Me.. June 24, 1761; d. Sept. 19, 
1832, iu her 72d year. She was the daughter of Lieut. John 
Roduck, who came from Boston. Mass.. at quite an early date ; 
he was a college-bred man of great ability and was one of the 
selectmen of Harpswell. Me., for several years. He is said to 
have come to Boston. Mass., from (Jlasgow. Scotland, and to 
have been of a very strong old family. His title, lieutenant, 
was won in the French and Indian wars. Lieut. Jolm Roduck 
married in Harpswell, Me., in 1750. INIary Webiier. the d.-iughter 
of Waitstill Webber and Meribah Ilutcliins. The Roduck family 
was considered one of the best in Ilariiswell. though it lias non- 
become so small that but few in tlie country bear the family 
name. But many of the strong family ch.nracteristics can be 
found in the descendants of the female lines of the Roducks. 
Many of the descendants of David Johnson and Jane Roduck 
were very proud of their Roduck ancestry. liabies wore often 
carefully scanned to see if they had "the broad thumb-nails 
like Lieutenant Roduck." If they had inherited these distinc- 
tive marks a prosperous future was predictetl for tliem. Jane 
Roduck Johnson was a quiet, loving woman, whose i)raise was 
in the hearts of all who knew her. Her home was the f.ivorite 
visiting place for neighbors near and far. 

After his marriage David Johnson lived awhile at St. George, 
Me., and then on Hope Island, in Casco Bay. He moved to 
Bailey's Island in the spring of 1800. The remaining years 
Avere spent in the old house of which a picture is herewith 
given. This house is the oldest on Bailey's Island, and one of 
the oldest in Harpswell. Me. It was built by Tommy Merry- 
man, who married Sarah Bailey, daughter of Deacon Timothy 
Bailey, from wliom the island received its name. As Tonnuy 
IMerryman built the house soon after his marri.Mge on March 26. 
1763. its age is quite clear. The rooms were plastered with lime 
made from mussel shells, which were burned after being brought 
from Pond Island. David .Tohnson w;is a very successful m;in. 
and he owned a large jiart of Bailey's Island, with the exception 
of the Gardiner farm at the north end of the island. His land 
ran from the west to the east shore of the island, including 
what was known as Sand Cove Point, where his son. Jose|iii. 
built his house. It ran south beyond the limits of the C.-ipt. 
James Sinnett farm. From this that farm was taken, as well as 
the Jesse I'homas lot. the lot of Perry Alexandei", of Jonathan 
.Johnson, now owned b.v the Leeni.-ins. and many otiiers. Run- 
ning east from the cemetery is tlie undividinl lot wiiicli ix'Iongctl 
to my grandmother, Mary Johnson Sinnett. Lowell's ("ove

Point, on which for years Capt. James Sinuett carried on such 
a large fish-clrying business, belonged to David Johnson. He 
said one day to liis grandsons. David and Hugh Sinnett : "That 
place will be worth lots of money some day. 1 want you two 
to have it. Can you work some for it?" Two heads were 
(luickly nodded in assent. Then the lads fished and dug clams 
with vigor, and the place became theirs for the sum of fifty 
dollars, which they had earned. They gave it to their father 
for the fish-drying business. This incident is given to show how 
David Johnson strove in all ways to foster industry in his 
family and among his neighbors. But he was always very gen- 
erous, though the gifts were made in such a quiet way that not 
many knew of them. He donated the land for the cemetery- on 
Bailey's Island, and his son. Ebenezer, was probably the first 
l)erson who was buried there. It seems fitting that here should 
rest his ])arents and so many relatives. This cemetery lot was 
afterwards enlarged by a gift of ('apt. James Sinnett. David 
Johnson also gave the first schoolhouse on Bailey's Island. 
Some of the neighbors thought it was too hard work to build 
one. and that it was best to wait another year, but David said : 
"I am willing to si)are the porch of my house if you will help 
haul it in place — then we can have a school right off." So the 
first school stood near the Sea Bank, not far from the residence 
of the late Capt. Sinnett Orr. It was put in place in the sum- 
mer of 1827. and served its purpose well until it was accident- 
ally burned in the winter of 1838. 

Not long after David Johnson moved to Bailey's Island, four 
negroes were sent to him from Virginia as his share of an estate 
there which was being settled. "Slaves?" said David. "There 
is nothing of the oppressive spirit in me. Brother Ebenezer. you 
are soon going South, and you must carry these people back 
again. I will take the best of care of them until then." His 
care was so good that when the brother, Ebenezer. was ready to 
sail for A'irginia, a young negress begged with tears to be 
allowed to stay in the home. She would work faithfully at any 
task set her if she could be with such people. "And these dear 
children and grandchildren," she sobbed, "you do not know how 
I have come to love them." The children knew it. Tears were 
on their faces and the thought of parting with this bright girl 
from the South. So her home was at David Johnson's. Her 
faithfulness helped over many hard places, and her quick wit 
has been haud(Hl down in many traditions. 

The old people have often told me how this negro girl could 
entertain them for hoyrs when they were children, with songs, 
stories, and the representation of every peculiar ])erson in the 
town. She represented many imaginary peo])le, too, Mrs. Tubbs 
of North Yarmouth being one of these. She had long stories to 
relate of the trials with Mr. Tubbs and others. 

As has already been stated, David Johnson enlisted in the 
Revolutionary Wai-. July 17. 1775. befcu-e he was twenty years 
of age. Tlie story of the services of himself and his brothers. 
Jonathan and James, have been given in the first chapter of 
this book. 

His patriotism of the truest type was the means of inspiring 



JOllNSUN GENEALOGY. 38 

the same si)irit ia many others. All up and down the .Maine 
coast ho was known as a man of stci-lini,' inti'fjrity. 

He was tenderly attached to his children and graudtliildren, 
and hence many settknl near him. Those who moved to other 
towns often came to see him. and have handed down his stronj; 
influences thron.ch many wnerations. Trnly every reader of 
this book will note with interest the long list of his descend- 
ants who have been so heli)ful in the world's affairs. Some day 
we feel sure those who owe so much to David Johnson and Jane 
Rodnck, his wife, will rear a noble nionnment to their memory

She was blown up by the Confeflerates aud sank in three 
mhuites, in the St. John River. Fkirida. He and several of 
his companions had a thrilling escai)e from drowning. He 
went ont to the wreck, and with a hook got his trvnik from 
his room, which was on deck. He also tore away the wood- 
work so that he got some of the fancy glass aronnd the 
saloon, which the family still keep. For 10 years after 
the Civil War he was engineer on the Nickerson Line, 
whose steamers plied between Boston and Savannah and 
New Orleans. He then became connected with the Boston 
Towboat Co. He soon entered the I'enal Institutions de- 
partment of Boston and brought the J. Putnam Bradly 
from New York. He was also in charge of the new 
steamer Monitor until his retirement in June. 1905. He re- 
mained on the .7. Putnam Bradli/ during its entire 30 years' 
service. He settled in Dorchester, Mass., about 1880 and 
always remained there. He was a charter member of the 
:Maverick Lodge. Royal Arcanum, and was the founder and 
organizer of the Marine Engineers" Benefit Association. His 
success was won by entering one line of activity and stick- 
ing to it. He was a man of the highest character and very 
devoted to his family. It was often said, "He never had 
an enemy."

a womlerfnl talent for the tellin,^ of stories of sea and land, 
and a visit to his home was a rare treat even to those who 
had often seen and heard liini. His house on Sand Cove 
Point. Bailev's Island, was bnilt in 1820. and was occupied 
by hiin until it was struck by a bolt of lightning many years 
aher. He then removed to the Phineas Johnson house, 
nearby, for he felt that this lightning stroke was a warning 
to him that he should dwell there no longer. Some smiled 
at this thought, but those were days when signs and warn- 
ings were a connnon thing, and it is a wtmder that these 
sturdy peoiile lived the lives they did when so much of this 
whicli has been termed superstition prevailed. I have a long 
list of the stories of those days which I copied down when a 
lad. so that I can fully ai^preciate every noble life which 
was lived in the midst of the stories of witches and spooks. 
The raising of the frame of the .Joseph .Tolmson house was 
one of the great events of that day. I'eople came to it from 
near and far. Robert Barstow, the poet of Orr's Island, 
climbed on the ridge pole to sprinkle it with liquor in dedi- 
<-ation. and said : 

"He may paint it. and patch it. and make it look gay. 
And if he don't like he can look the other way."

IN MEMORY OF MBS. CAPT. JOHN BISHOP. 

By Capt. L. H. Stover. 

Gone, dear friend, w(> mourn thy loss, 

God give us strength to bear the cross; 

With thy husband we shall share 

The memory of thy life so rare; 

We can witness to thy worth 

From thy death back to thy birth, 

And on earth we seldom find 

One so loving, tender, kind, 

In all thy life a constant friend 

On whom we always could depend; 

Exhibiting in man-led life 

The model of a loving wife. 

A life so filled with kindly deeds 

Needs no aid from human creeds; 

Death itself has lost its sting. 

The grave no victory can sing; 

Oh, how sweet to those who meet 

O'er the grave where loved ones sleep, 

To think that on that other shore 

We shall meet to part no more. 

IN MEMORY OF CAPT. .JOHN BISHOP. 

By Capt. L. H. Stover. 

Farewell, dear friend, thy work is done. 

Life's toils are o'er, thy victory won; 

Thou art gone, and we remain. 

But our great loss must be thy gain; 

Thy loving heart by grief distressed. 

Is with thy loved one now at rest, 

All thy longing and thy grief 

Has found in death a sweet relief; 

E'en deafh itself cannot impair 

The memory of a life so fair; 

An honest man, a steadfast friend. 

Thy noble traits we here commend, 

Thy lifelong friends their tears restrain. 

Hoping ere long to meet again 

On that eternal, mystic shore 

Where those who greet shall part no more.

(3) Ralph Johnson, b. Dec. 15. 1799; d. Orr's Island. Me.. Jan. 
2, 1880. When he was first married he resided in the part 
of his father's home which was afterwards occupied by his 
brother. Capt. Jonathan R. Johnson. But his father said to 
him one day: "You deserve a better place, though I wish to 
keep you as near me as I can." So the father bought a house 
and lot near what is known as Smith Cove, on the east shore 
of Bailey's Island, Me., knowing that this was a place his son 
liked very unich. It had been occupied by a :\Ir. Smith, hence 
the name of the cove. But when Ralph Johnson began dig- 
ging a larger cellar for his home he had a dream so vivid in 
its warning of disaster if he lived on that spot that he told 
his father he thought it would not be right for him to remain 
there. "True, my .son," the father promptly answere<I, "I 
have never known you to do anything except as you felt it to be 
a clear duty, however disagreeable the work before you might 
seem." These words of the father were wonderfully clear in 
the understanding of the character of his son. Raliili. 
Throughout his long and useful life he was one of the most 
conscientious and God-fearing men in the town, helping in 
every good cause, however unpoiMilar it might s(>em to others. 
This was finel.v demonstratefl in the story of how he became 
a member of the Congregational church at Harpswell Center, 
Me., of which he was a faithful deacon for many years. I 
said to him once in his cosey home on Orr's Island. Me. : 
"How did you decide to unite with the old church .at tin- 
Center?" "Well. Charlie," he said, with a loving look at the 
white spire of the church up the hay. "it was because it 
seemed a plain duty, and my mother had always taught me 
that when any work seemed very hard it sliowe<1 .a road to 
great peace of mind and help for others. My father came 
home one morning with a sad look on his face. 'The oldest 
member in the Congregational church is dead, and T wonder 
who can take the i)lace of such a good man.' My fallicr 
seemed to be looking straight into my heart — .and lie always 
thought Ralph could do any kind of work. I rose at ouce

and could oiilv say, 'Father, you are tired, and I will so and 
pull the lobster traps for you.' He thanked me and let me 
go without another word. A heavy storm had moved many 
of the traps out of their places, but I got them all in line 
again. It was hard work, but all through it I seemed to hear 
God saying to me, 'Try and straighten the line of the church 
work.' When I reached home my mind was fully made up. 
I told my father that I would unite with the church, and was 
sorry 1 had not done it before. I never dreamed they would 
choose me deacon of the church later on. I simply wanted to 
do what was right." The story was told so simply that it 
touched the hearts of all of us who listened to it. And \vell 
did I remember how^ Eli.iah Kellog, the pastor of the Center 
church, had said to me: "He has been a man on whom I 
could always depend. His help in the church no man can 
measure. On Orr's Island he and his faithful wife have done 
all in their power for the Master's cause." 

Deacon Rali)h Johnson lived on Orr's Island many years, 
and his house is known far and wide as the "Pearl House," so 
well described in Mrs. Stowe's "Pearl of Orr's Island." In 
Loudon I saw some people looking at this picture and saying. 
"It must have been a homelike place." And I knew that 
hundreds of people could say. "Amen — and Amen!"

though a great sufferer, he was very patient through all 
his sickness. He was a man of sterling character and 
was beloved by all who knew him, and was one of the 
kindest of fathers. For years he followed the sea; he 
then worked for his uncle, Abner Johnson, in the lobster 
business; he then started in the grocery business and 
was very successful for years, until there came a great 
depression in business and he was so crippled with rheu-

76 JOHNSON GENEALOGY. 

"Dear Fatiiek, Brothers axd Sisters: These few lines 
are to inform you tliat I am yet alive, but not in good health 
at present, on account of the fever sores which I have on 
my left leg; but that is nothing. Dear friends, I now in- 
form you that I am now on the Island of St. Catherine's, 
on the coast of the Breseals. I am now married to my sec- 
ond wife, and am the father of fifteen children. I have 
sons and daughters as large as any of you. I have thir- 
teen children by my first wife, but I have buried nine of 
my children, and my first wife. I have now living Caro- 
line, Mary, Samuel, Foster, John and Francisco. Dear 
friends, take warning of me, and do n't ramble astray, for 
I am a warning to you in this desolate country, far from 
home. I have wandered this wide world through. I have 
been in the Spanish and the Portuguese war, and very badly 
treated. Dear friends, I long to see you, but it is in vain. 
God bless all and keep all from dangers. I would give all 
the world if I could hear from you all, but that is impos- 
sible. I have sent 27 letters but have never received an 
answer. Oh, what a pleasure it would be to I'ead one line 
from my dear friends. Times I dream of you, and times I 
see you before me. I raise coffee and sugar in abundance. 
Here are plenty of fish of different qualities. I am well 
content with these things, but long to see my dear home. 
You must excuse my writing, for I have almost forgot my 
own tongue, being so accu.stomed to the Portuguese tongue. 
This is my love to you all, father, mother, brothers, sis- 
ters, uncles, aunts, and all friends. Farewell to you and 
adieu. Your dear son, Charles Johnson." 

(4) Capt. Abner H. Johnson, b. Great Chebeague Island, Me., 
Feb. 9, 1817; d. Feb. 22, 1890 (74y.). "He spent his boy- 
hood days on Hope Island, Me., where his father carried 
on a grocery and fishing business. When young, he en- 
tered the United States revenue service on the cutter Nor- 
ris. He was disabled by being knocked down in a gale. 
He then left the service and located at Small Point, Me., 
and was occupied in the fishing business. He moved to 
Harpswell, Me., in 1861, and remained there four years. 
He then moved to Portland, Me., where he carried on the 
fishing and lobster business for about twenty-five years. 
He was a most faithful worker in the Free Baptist Church 
for forty years. He was one of the founders of the Sea- 
man's Sail Loft meetings at Portland, Me., which are still 
doing great good. His heart was in all his Christian work, 
and he saw the conversion of many precious souls. His 
wallet was always quickly opened for help in every worthy 
cause." He m. (first), Abigail Bates of Bates Island,

THE OLD FIREPLACE. 

I love it, I love it, and who in life's race 

Will chide me for loving the old fireplace; 

Its old frame a welcome always extended. 

From the cold blasts of winter our home it defended. 

And many chilled hearts in its warm, radiant light 

Grew hopeful and happy by day and by night. 

Show me one, if you can, who has known the fireplace, 
Who has not found relief in its bright, cheerful face 
When the clouds of despair o'er the soul seemed to hover 
And the bright spots in life those clouds seemed to cover. 
Sit down by its side for a half hour or so, 
And lose your sad thoughts in its bright, healthful glow. 

SATURDAY NIOHT. 

Saturday night, and the toil is o'er. 

The soft breeze stirs at the open door. 

Wafting sweet thoughts on its scented breath. 

Speaking of Him who triumphs o'er death; 

Guiding our minds o'er life's troubled sea 

Into the realms (if eternity; 

Speaking in whispers so faint and clear 

Of a purer life than the one lived here; 

Bidding us rest from the toil and the strife 

Besetting our paths through this earthly life. 

Rest, and give thanks to our God above, 

Who holds us all in His mighty love; 

Thanks for the blessings received each day. 

And a prayer for grace and strength on our way;

.lames Ross, Jr., b. Brunswick. Me., Sept. 24, 1819; d. Liv- 
<'rpool, England, May 28, 1878. "He followed the sea from 
the age of nine years until he was forty-one years old. He 
then purchased an interest in the parafine "oil works five 
miles from Batli.^ate, St-otland. After two years he sold 
out this interest and moved to Liverpool, England, engag- 
ing in the ship chandlery and sail-making business. Two 
years after this, with Capt. Alfred Skolfield of Brunswick, 
Me., he established a ship's ai;cncy liusiness, which is still 
carried on in Liverpool, England, under the name Ross, 
Skolfield & Co." His successes were marked and his noble 
wife was his constant companion and helper. Capt. .James 
Ross, .Jr., was the only son of Capt. .James Ross, who was 
b. at Brunswick, Me., March 27. 1785 and d. in New York 
City, Nov. 15, 1823 (38y.). Though his life was such a 
short one it was filled with successful work .along many 
lines, and marked by good deeds, the memory of wliich is 
still cherished. He m., June 23, 1813, Hannah Dunning, b. 
Brunswick, Me., June 1, 1790; d. Aug. 15, 1839 (49y.). She 
was the daughter of David Dunning, Jr., and Elizabeth 
Hunt; granddaughter of Lieut. James Dunning and Martha 
Lithgow, and great-granddaughter of Ancestor Andrew Dun- 
ning and Susan Bond, all these lines showing thai Capt. 
James Ross was descended from the sturdiest old settlers 
of Brunswick, Me. 

(The only sister of Capt. James Ross, Jr., w.as Hannah 
Ross, who m. [first], Abner Melcher and [.second!, William 
Penly, and was a woman of great worth.) 

Capt. James Ross, Jr.. was the grandson of William Ross 
and his wife. Jennett. both of whom are buried in the old 
cemetery at Brunswick, Me. The great-grandfather of 
Capt. James Ross, Jr., was no doubt the William Ross who, 
1741, owned lot No. 24, not fiir fi'om thi> old church at 
Brunswick, Me. Nothing more of certainty has been found 
in regard to this first William Ross, but the descendants 
have always claimed a sturdy Scotch ancestry, and tht- 
hardy and enterprising charactcM" of the descend.-ints bear 
out this assertion. Since the first William Ross lived side 
by side with the noblest of the early settlers of Brunswick. 
Me., such as the Dunnings, Spears, Finneys, etc., all of 
whom came from the north of Ireland in the famous 
Scotch-Irish colony of Rev. William Boyd, it setMUs clear 
that the Ross family came wilii these chosen and li.ardy 
people. 

Outside of the family, writers have attempted to tr.ace the 
Ross line to the James Ross who was at Falmouth (now 
Portland), Me., in 1GG2; but the arguments only seem to 
show a connection between these families across the sea. 



!»4 JOHNSON GENEALOGY. 

Wbatover may have been the descent, the members of the 
Ross family through all generations have shown a sturdy 
and kindly power among men, and a wonderful success in 
varied lines of usefulness on sea and land. Their patriot- 
ism is clearly shown in the fact that in Brunswick, Me., 
in the famous 1812 War, Company of Capt. Richard T. Dun- 
lap appear the names of James Ross'', John Ross, Robert 
Ross- and William Ross". Tiie most famous teacher in 
Harpswell, Me., in the days of my grandparents, was Aunt 
Sallie Ross, b. Brunswick, Me., April 21, 1790, and who was 
a sister of the father of Capt. James Ross, Jr. The memo- 
ries of her fine teaching and noble Christian character are 
still cherished in the old town by the sea. (Further his- 
tory of the Ross, Hunt and Dunning families may be 
found in the genealogj' of each of these by Rev. Charles N. 
Sinnett.)

116 JOHNSON GENEALOGY. 

May our faith be like that of the good Hebrew Daniel, 

Who was the most faithful of those of his day; 
Throu^'h Christ he endured many vile persecutions, 

From his faithful I.x)rd he'd not turn away. 
It seems that now by their human inventions 

They had given commands he should cease to pray; 
But despite of all their wicked intentions 

He called on his Savior three times a day. 
He did not retire into dark place and secret. 

Towards Jerusalem his windows were open then, 
As for the commandment he never would keep it, 

He feared not the king, nor the fierce lions' den. 
He was firm to his trust and he would not give over. 

Through God he defeated each wicked plan, 
He believed there was strength in the arm of Jehovah, 

He had no faith in the weak hand of man. 
They make new arrangements, and call for assistance 

To bear him away to a lonely place; 
He gave himself up without sign of resistance. 

Still calling on God with l)elief in His grace. 
They bear him away to yon lonely cavern, 

Aiul now lower him down to that fearful hole; 
But it seemed unto him like a little Heaven. 

With glory in view, and with Christ in bis soul. 
He now finds himself in the den with the lions. 

And feels that he's standing upon holy ground; 
He soon breaks the silence with an old song of Zion, 

And makes the whole cavern with praises resound. 
The night passes on, and the morning is breaking. 

The king rises early and starts on his way. 
His path to the prison of Daniel he's making 

To see if he lives and continues to pray. 
With trembling step from a past recollection 

The king is approaching, and now bear him say, 
"Oh. Daniel! Oh, Daniel! bast thou found protection? 

Hast thy God delivered, and dost thou still pray?" 
"Yes; God has been with me, and I am not fearful, 

His presence I've found, and my faith is the same; 
And now I am trustful, I'm happy as ever. 

My God has come down, and the lions are tame. 
Ob. king, there's no danger, no shadow of trouble. 

While praying to God, by night or by day, 
Though lions might roar and my foes be redoubled. 

At the word of the Lord they would all calm away." 
"Come up, thou good Hebrew; thou shalt have my favor; 

Now let it be published and sounded abi'oad. 
Beside Daniel's God there is no other Savior; 

Let all come and worship the brave Hebi-ew's God."
